While free apps proliferate, many fall victim to the download-try-delete cycle, making the average lifespan of an app just 30 days. How can brands keep their place on a customer's mobile device? This whitepaper discusses how an app can deliver value to maintain its place on a customer's phone, and how added value can prompt customers to share some private information and opt in to push notifications. Dig deeper into the key performance indicators (KPIs) for apps that achieve this privacy-value exchange.

In this white paper, we describe the basic characteristics of DES and triple-DES and look at the security properties that a financial transaction system will want to achieve. We then look at the problems related with a migration from DES to triple-DES; enumerating and discussing several points that we suggest should be considered.

Interactive applications have changed dramatically over the last 15 years. In the late ‘90s,
large web companies emerged with dramatic increases in scale on many dimensions:
· The number of concurrent users skyrocketed as applications increasingly became accessible
· via the web (and later on mobile devices).
· The amount of data collected and processed soared as it became easier and increasingly
· valuable to capture all kinds of data.
· The amount of unstructured or semi-structured data exploded and its use became integral
· to the value and richness of applications.
Dealing with these issues was more and more difficult using relational database technology.
The key reason is that relational databases are essentially architected to run a single machine
and use a rigid, schema-based approach to modeling data.
Google, Amazon, Facebook, and LinkedIn were among the first companies to discover the serious
limitations of relational database technology for supporting these new application requirements.
Commercial alternatives didn’t exist, so they invented new data management approaches
themselves. Their pioneering work generated tremendous interest because a growing number of
companies faced similar problems. Open source NoSQL database projects formed to leverage the
work of the pioneers, and commercial companies associated with these projects soon followed.
Today, the use of NoSQL technology is rising rapidly among Internet companies and the
enterprise. It’s increasingly considered a viable alternative to relational databases, especially
as more organizations recognize that operating at scale is more effectively achieved running on
clusters of standard, commodity servers, and a schema-less data model is often a better approach
for handling the variety and type of data most often captured and processed today.

Knowledge and strategic relationships fuel many organizations in today’s rapidly changing, global economy. As such, organizations need to leverage the individuals—and their networks—that possess the most relevant knowledge, whether they are current employees or are only loosely connected to the organization. To do this, organizations should create and leverage peer collaboration networks that enable them to identify and connect with individuals who have the unique skills, knowledge, and capabilities these organizations need. Bersin’s Research, Why Reputations and Networks Matter in the Open Talent Economy, indicates that this approach works in driving value—organizations that have effectively used internal reputation networks and profile databases have been able to increase key metrics such as employees’ time to productivity and innovation levels.

IBM’s Spectrum Protect offering boasts more than 20 years of achievement in the protection and recovery of key IT systems. So, it would be easy to suppose that IBM’s new Spectrum Protect Plus and Spectrum Copy Data Management software offerings simply represent “Spectrum Protect with extra features.” That assumption would be incorrect. They are standalone, reimagined approaches aiming to solve a daunting IT challenge—virtualization protection/recovery—and aspiring to attain a coveted IT outcome—effective data management and enablement (DM&E), referred to by many as “copy data management” (CDM).

The primary objective of any financial transformation project is to achieve process improvements by improving the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of financial information, ultimately enhancing shareholder value.
Take the example of the close process. It would be incredibly simple to shorten the process by adding more people, however, is this an efficient way to reduce the number of days to close? On the right, the Hackett Group displays that best in class companies actually can be seen closing in fewer days, with greater automation and significant lower audit fees, emphasizing the idea that you really can do more with less.
